Cabbage and pomegranate salad, finally autumn arrives with its seasonal fruits! The pomegranate, besides juices, liqueurs, and more, remains one of my favorites in its raw form in salads. I use pomegranate seeds in many dishes when they’re in season. If it’s raw, thinly sliced cabbage and seasoned, you’ll discover a side dish that could become a main course. Pomegranate varieties are numerous, highly resistant to diseases, requiring very little water, and are used for ornamental gardens due to their beauty. None of the fruit is wasted, not even the peel, which is dried and used for infusions.
